 The old fashioned bleeding heart will take a lot of sun as long as the soil
is not to dry. one year I had a long row of them planted with one end in semi
to full shade all the way up to full sun.  It was interesting to see the
plants change as the light changed.  Those with more sun were shorter and the
flower color was more red/pink and the flowers were grouped into tighter rows
on the stem.
While those in a lot of shade were twice as tall as those in the sun with long
stems with the flowers spaced out and of a soft pink color.
